I'm trying to acheive a certain look with MAC cosmetics (see their bridal section and look at Marie). This look is something I would love to have on my wedding day. Unfortunately, I don't want to be dishing out about $127.00 in their products. Do anyone know how I can achieve this look with another make-up brand? I realize how silly this question may be, but I am not the most make-up friendly gal.Where can I buy make-up colors that are similar to MAC?
Dependent upon where you are, a brand called NYX is much more affordable, yet still has a large range of colors and textures.
If you can't find NYX, Milani is good, though it doesn't have the expansive color range.
For specifically, recreating the items from Marie's look on the MAC Website:
Eyeshadow -
Covergirl Swiss Chocolate eyeshadow instead of MAC Cork
Milani Java Bean instead of MAC Mulch
Milani Sun Goddess or Desert Sun instead of MAC Goldmine
(Also keep in mind that if you buy eyeshadow pans from MAC, they only cost $10, as opposed to $13.50 when they are in the pot form. The pans can be put in a MAC 4-pan palette which costs $3.50 or they fit Covergirl and E.L.F. palettes as well)
Brushes -
Sonia Kashuk brushes from Target or Face Secrets brushes from Sally's Beauty Supply
Blush -
Can't figure out a drugstore dupe for Ambering Rose, so maybe that could be your splurge! MAC also sells blush pans for like $3 cheaper than the pots. The pans can be put in palettes as well. The empty blush palette holds six blushes and costs $12.50.
Lips -
Maybelline Wet Shine Diamonds in Marquis Peach, instead of MAC Fancy That lipglassWhere can I buy make-up colors that are similar to MAC?
Ulta has great broad selections of make-up and brands. The Ulta brand is great if you are looking for a color you may not use on a regular basis bc they are like buy 2 get one free.
MARY KAY is comparable to MAC and they have colors that you can use to get that look. Check out http://www.marykay.com/daryn_anderson
If you need help choosing the right colors to match that look you can email me. I'll be glad to help. :)
ARG!!! Don't listen to the lady that says that Mary Kay is comparable to MAC!!! SHE IS LYING TO YOU!!! The texture is completely different and they don't go on very smooth. OK so now that I have said my piece. Buy the MAC. I have yet to come across anything quite as good in a lower price range. Its only $127 and is your wedding day. You will use the products over and over and love it every time that you do. In this case, definitely splurge. In fact, if you go to the MAC counter they will do your make-up free for you the day of your wedding. You will look gorgeous in your wedding photos.
most small fashion stores sell a product called max it is way less expensive all though you might have to reapply more often
This link has a list of eyeshadows that look similar to mac eyeshadows. I can't vouch for the quality, though.
